Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm not asking for a new program. I'm not asking for a new funding pot. I'm asking for a new door. So what I'm asking for is for a door where people can access funds that already exist within child and family services, where somebody can simply come to the door and say, here's my proof that I am an active student at a high school in the Northwest Territories; here's my proof that I need child care, maybe it's in the form of a baby in their arms; where they can then access funding without having to enter into an official voluntary service agreement, because people have told us in the territory that is not safe for me. And I think that we need to respect that, especially if it stands as a barrier for access to education. I appreciate the services that are offered by the Department of Health and Social Services, but I think it's okay for us to acknowledge that it doesn't work for everyone and there are other ways for us to paint this so that it is accessible to everybody.
So I'm asking if the Minister's willing to work with me and other Members, who have experience with this, to be able to create a slightly different door for people to access something, where they could potentially go to a school counsellor to help them fill out a form and to help gain that proof that CFS might need for them to prove that they're an active student. Maybe it's with a school administrator. I think there are great ways that this can be done. And so I'm wondering if the Minister of health is willing to do that work so that we can work on this together. Thank you.
